Advocacy for DCD is crucial. It helps to increase understanding, promote access to resources, and ensure that people affected by this disorder receive the support they need to thrive.
​
We can all play a part in educating ourselves and others, sharing information, and supporting initiatives that benefit those with DCD.
​
Awareness week serves as a vital opportunity to shine a spotlight on DCD, encouraging conversations and community engagement.
​
Join us by wearing blue or teal to show your support and help raise awareness!
